According to an interview with Sonics guitarist Larry Parypa (_Here 'Tis_
#3, reprinted in #7), this ace rant was inspired by the Nashville Teens'
'Tobacco Road':

Verse 1 (continue w/intro riff):
[ Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/sonics/youve_got_your_head_crd.html ]
You got your head on backwards, baby, you don't know where you're at
Got your head on backwards, baby, watch out or you'll fall flat
Yeah, instead of sayin' "hi" to the people that you meet
[N.C.]
You oughta say "goodbye" as you're walkin' down the street
Chorus:
C7
You got your head on backwards, baby
G7
And you're gonna hit the ground, yeah
D7
Well, when you finally fall down, baby
C7G7D7
I don't want to be around
[harmonica solo over intro riff, 6X]
Verse 2:
Well, people been askin' me what's wrong with you
Uh, they can't understand all them crazy things you do
I got something to say and I'm sayin' it out loud
You better shape up, baby, and get down off of your cloud
[repeat chorus]
[harmonica solo over intro riff, 8X]
Verse 3:
Well, you sure look funny, girl, you're sure lookin' strange
You can't stay this way, no, you just gotta change
The way you're walkin', talkin', it ain't lookin' right
The way that you been actin' is too far out of sight
Coda (rant to fade over intro riff):
Yeah, baby, you got your head on backwards... yeah
You don't know what's happenin', uh-uh
Man, you're wrong... you're dead wrong, you know why
'Cause your head's on backwards...
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
